Stalgast 350 mm Skimmer for Professional Kitchens

A skimmer lifts food from hot liquids without carrying excess oil or water. The perforated head allows liquid to drain through while holding solid pieces, making it essential for frying, blanching, or poaching. The long handle keeps the operator's hands clear of steam and splashes, reducing the risk of burns in a busy kitchen.

To use the skimmer, lower the perforated head into the liquid and draw it beneath the food. Lift slowly to let the liquid drain through the holes, leaving the food on the surface. The same motion removes foam from stocks or broths, keeping them clear without disturbing the ingredients below. The handle's length provides reach into deep pots or fryers while maintaining a safe distance from heat.

The skimmer is made of glass fibre-reinforced plastic, which resists heat and does not conduct it to the handle. This material is lighter than metal, reducing fatigue during extended use, and will not scratch non-stick or Teflon-coated cookware. The 350 mm length balances control with reach, fitting comfortably in standard kitchen storage while allowing access to the back of deep hobs.

The perforated head measures approximately 115 mm across, large enough to lift multiple pieces of food at once but compact enough to manoeuvre in smaller pans. It withstands temperatures up to +220 °C, making it safe for frying, boiling, and serving hot dishes. The material is also suitable for thermal disinfection and dishwasher cycles, simplifying cleaning between uses.

This skimmer is designed for professional kitchens, restaurants, canteens, and home cooking, where durability and hygiene are critical. Its non-scratch construction protects cookware surfaces, while the lightweight design reduces strain during repetitive tasks. The 350 mm size is standard for most commercial and domestic setups, fitting alongside other utensils in drawers or hanging racks.

Cleaning is straightforward: rinse under hot water to remove food particles, then place in a dishwasher for thorough sanitisation. The heat-resistant plastic will not warp or degrade in high-temperature wash cycles, ensuring consistent performance over time. For manual cleaning, a soft sponge or cloth avoids damaging the perforated surface.

The skimmer is categorised under kitchen utensils and is compatible with frying pans, pots, and deep fryers. Its design prioritises safety, efficiency, and ease of maintenance in high-demand environments.
